2 Kings 8

1 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.”

エリシヤ甞てその子を甦へらせて與へし婦に言しことあり曰く汝起て汝の家族とともに往き汝の寄寓んとおもふ處に寄寓れ其はヱホバ饑饉を呼くだしたまひたれば七年の間この地に臨むべければなりと

2 The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

是をもて婦起て神の人の言のごとくに爲しその家族とともに往てペリシテ人の地に七年寄寓ぬ

3 At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.

かくて七年を經て後婦人ペリシテ人の地より歸りしが自己の家と田畝のために王に呼もとめんとて往り

4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”

時に王は神の人の僕ゲハジにむかひ請ふエリシヤが爲し諸の大なる事等を我に告よと言てこれと談話をる

5 As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”

即ち彼エリシヤが死人を甦らせしことを王にものがたりをる時にその子を彼が甦らせし婦自己の家と田畝のために王に呼もとめければゲハジ言ふわが主王よ是すなはちその婦人なり是すなはちエリシヤが甦らせしその子なり

6 When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.”

王すなはちその婦に尋ねけるにこれを陳たれば王彼のために一人の官吏を派出して言ふ凡て彼に屬する物並に彼がこの地を去し日より今にいたるまでの其田畝の產出物を悉く彼に還せよと

7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”

エリシヤ、ダマスコに至れる事あり時にスリアの王ベネハダデ病にかかりをりしがこれにつげて神の人此にきたると言ふ者ありければ

8 The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”

王ハザエルに言ふ汝手に禮物をとり往て神の人を迎へ彼によりてヱホバに吾この病は愈るやと言て問へ

9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him and said, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”

是においてハザエルかれを迎へんとて出往きダマスコのもろもろの佳物駱駝に四十駄を禮物に携へて到りて彼の前に立ち曰けるは汝の子スリアの王ベネハダデ我を汝につかはして吾この病は愈るやと言しむ

10 Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however the LORD has shown me that he will surely die.”

エリシヤかれに言けるは往てかれに汝はかならず愈べしと告よ但しヱホバかれはかならず死んと我にしめしたまふなり

11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.

而して神の人瞳子をさだめて彼の羞るまでに見つめ乃て哭いでたれば

12 Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”

ハザエルわが主よ何て哭たまふやと言ふにエリシヤ答へけるは我汝がイスラエルの子孫になさんところの害惡を知ばなり即ち汝は彼等の城に火をかけ壯年の人を劍にころし子等を挫ぎ孕女を刳ん

13 Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”

ハザエル言けるは汝の僕は犬なるか何ぞ斯る大なる事をなさんエリシヤ答へけるはヱホバ我にしめしたまふ汝はスリアの王となるにいたらん

14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”

斯て彼エリシヤを離れて去てその主君にいたるにエリシヤは汝に何と言しやと尋ければ答へて彼汝はかならず愈るあらんと我に告たりと言ふ

15 On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.

翌日にいたりてハザエル粗き布をとりて水に浸しこれをもて王の面を覆ひたれば死りハザエルすなはち之にかはりて王となる

16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムの五年にはヨシヤパテ尚ユダの王たりき此年にユダの王ヨシヤバテの子ヨラム位に即り

17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

彼は位に即し時三十二歳にして八年の間エルサレムにて世を治めたり

18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.

彼はアハブの家のなせるがごとくにイスラエルの王等の道を行へりアハブの女かれの妻なりければなり斯彼はヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしかども

19 However, the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.

ヱホバその僕ダビデのためにユダを滅すことを好みたまはざりき即ち彼にその子孫によりて恒に光明を與んと言たまひしがごとし

20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

ヨラムの代にエドム叛きてユダの手に服せず自ら王を立たれば

21 Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.

ヨラムその一切の戰車をしたがへてザイルに渉りしが遂に夜の中に起あがりて自己を圍めるエドム人を撃ちその戰車の長等を撃り斯して民はその天幕に逃ゆきぬ

22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

エドムは斯叛きてユダの手に服せずなりしが今日まで然り此時にあたりてリブナもまた叛けり

23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

ヨラムのその餘の行爲およびその凡て爲たる事等はユダの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや

24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.

ヨラムその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑にその先祖たちと同じく葬られその子アハジアこれに代りて王となれり

25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムの十二年にユダの王ヨラムの子アハジア位に即り

26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

アハジアは位に即し時二十二歳にしてエルサレムにて一年世を治めたりその母はイスラエルの王オムリの孫女にして名をアタリヤといふ

27 He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.

アハジアはアハブの家の道にあゆみアハブの家のごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり是かれはアハブの家の婿なりければなり

28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.

茲にアハブの子ヨラム自身ゆきてスリアの王ハザエルとギレアデのラモテに戰ひけるがスリア人等ヨラムに傷を負せたり

29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

是に於てヨラム王はそのスリアの王ハザエルと戰ふにあたりてラマに於てスリア人に負せられたるところの傷を療さんとてヱズレルに歸れりユダの王ヨラムの子アハジアはアハブの子ヨラムが病をるをもてヱズレルに下りて之を訪ふ
